(1) A logical collection of data elements that can be referred to either collectively or individually.<br />(2) In PL/I, an arry or a structure.
Industry:Software
(1) A logical division of storage reserved for processing a job or group of jobs.<br />(2) A named set of storage volumes that is the destination that is used to store client data. See also archive, retrieve.<br />(3) A grouping of storage space consisting of volumes, logical unit numbers (LUNs), or addresses that share a common set of administrative characteristics. See also user pool.
Industry:Software
(1) A logical drive through which volumes are accessed in a sequential access device class. For removable media device types, such as cartridges, a mount point is a logical drive associated with a physical drive. For the file device type, a mount point is a logical drive associated with an I/O stream.<br />(2) In Linux operating systems and in UNIX operating systems such as AIX, the directory at which a file system is mounted and under which other file systems may be mounted.<br />(3) A directory established in a workstation or a server local directory that is used during the transparent accessing of a remote file.
Industry:Software
(1) A logical expression specifying a programme state that must exist or a set of conditions that programme variables must satisfy at a particular point during programme execution.<br />(2) A capability or requirement that represent a domain specific concept. Assertions fall into the following categories: performance, reliability, interoperability, security, and manageability.
Industry:Software
(1) A logical or virtual connexion between two stations, software programs, or devices on a network that allows the two elements to communicate and exchange data. See also SQL connection, transaction.<br />(2) A type of resource that controls local logical units (LUs), remote LUs, modes, and attachments.<br />(3) In Java EE, an object used by a servlet to track a user's interaction with a Web application across multiple HTTP requests.<br />(4) In a distributed application, a single conversation between a communicating pair of transactions. See also conversation.<br />(5) A series of requests to a servlet originating from the same user at the same browser.<br />(6) A collection of process groups established for job control purposes.
Industry:Software
(1) A logical organisation of users whose membership allows them to perform the same activities or provide the same authority to access resources.<br />(2) In a satellite environment, a collection of satellites that share characteristics such as the database configuration and the application that runs on the satellites.<br />(3) A collection of users who can share access authorities for protected resources.<br />(4) A named list of users and servers. It can be used in contact lists, access control lists, and so on.<br />(5) In places, two or more people who are grouped for membership in a place.<br />(6) In resource definition online, a collection of related resources. The main purpose of an RDO group is convenience in storing definitions in the CSD.<br />(7) A list of elements with information about how those elements can appear in a message. Groups can be ordered, unordered, or selective.<br />(8) With respect to partitioned data sets (PDSs), a member and the member's aliases that exist in a PDS or partitioned data set extended (PDSE), or in an unloaded PDSE.<br />(9) A set of related documents within an interchange. An interchange can contain zero to many groups.
Industry:Software
(1) A logical record stored in more than one block on a storage medium.<br />(2) In the Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM), a logical record whose length exceeds control interval length and, as a result, crosses, or spans, one or more control interval boundaries within a single control area.
Industry:Software
(1) A logical server that consists of a set of server jobs and configuration objects. Each server instance listens on either a unique IP address or a unique port with the same IP address. A server instance is created, configured, deleted, or controlled from the administration server. The configuration of each server instance is determined by the name of an associated configuration file, instance parameters, and values that are specified on the Configuration and Administration Forms and on the Global Attribute Values page.<br />(2) See server.
Industry:Software
(1) A logical subset of volumes in a tape library. A category can be assigned by the library manager (for example, the insert category) or by the software (such as, the private or scratch categories).<br />(2) A word, phrase, or number used to group documents in a view.<br />(3) The recommended security specifications needed for both the CICS transaction definitions and the corresponding RACF profiles.<br />(4) An optional grouping of entities that are related in some way, such as messages or assets that relate to a particular application. See also message.<br />(5) A container used in a structure diagram to group elements based on a shared attribute or quality.
Industry:Software
(1) A logical table that is based on data stored in an underlying set of tables. The data returned by a view is determined by a SELECT statement that is run on the underlying tables. See also base table, table.<br />(2) The form in which an object is presented. A choice in the action bar that a user selects to look at an object from various perspectives is an example of a view.<br />(3) In Eclipse-based user interfaces, any pane in the workbench that is outside the editor area and can be stacked (dragged and dropped) on top of other views. Views provide different ways to look at or work with the resources in the workbench.<br />(4) In the CICSPlex SM API, a temporary, customised form of a resource table. A view can consist of some or all of the resource table attributes in any order.<br />(5) In the CICSPlex SM ISPF end-user interface, a formatted display of selected data about CICS resources or CICSPlex SM definitions. The data in a view is obtained from a query and can be presented in one or more forms. The data can be limited to a subset of CICSplex resources or definitions by establishing a context and scope.<br />(6) A ClearCase object that provides a work area for one or more users. For each element in a VOB, a view's configuration specification selects one version from the element's version tree.<br />(7) A window that displays requirements, the attributes assigned to requirements, and the relationships between requirements. See also Attribute Matrix, traceability matrix, traceability tree.<br />(8) In the Reusable Asset Specification (RAS), a projection (subset) of the system models that shows a specific aspect of the system or addresses one or more of the concerns of the system stakeholders.<br />(9) A projection of a model, which is seen from a given perspective or vantage point and omits entities that are not relevant to this perspective.
